Mr.. Tiff first went to New Orleans and
thence to California over the Southern
Pacific The climate of California is all
that the most enthusiastic have painted
it. Last week the temperature at Sacra-
mento was 50 degrees. He came home
by way of Ashland, and there he struck
weather which the thermometer showed
to be down to zero. He says it gives a
man an idea of the size of this country to
be able IN few days to pass from sum
mer's heat to winters cold.
He describes Ashland as in a state hor-
derlng on frenzy over the advance in
real estate. The hotels are packed. In
order to gel to the dining room you must
fall lnto line and follow slowly in the
procession. A man is stationed at the
door to prevent a rush, but is not always
successful. The people insist that in less
than two years Ashland will have pop

An Oshkosh man lately went blind
through paralysis of the optic nerve. A
Milwaukee ocuist attributes the cause
to the excessive use of tobacco, and says
besides, that the use of tobacco causes
many cases of blindness attributed to
other causes, and that most cases of heart
disease have their origin in the use of
tobacco. More injury results from the
use of tobacco than from liquor. It is
safe to say that one-half the boys in tits
city over the age of thirteen use tobacco,
and the evil keeps increasing. There is
a good opportunity for some missionary
work in this direction.

IT is believed by a number of persons
that there is a gang of horse thieves in
portions of this county, who have confed-

horses stolen in Cooperstown and in
Kossuth were taken by these fellows, and
kept closely for some time and then sent
out to the confederates who disposed of
them.

THE state senate by vote of 10 to 20
| killed the bill fixing the maximum rate
| for passenger travel at &c. per mile Per-
haps the introduction of this bill is
little premature. Should the pass system
be as thoroughly done away with as
! expectations of the Interstate law would
indicate, the railroad companies Will be
able to reduce the fare to two cents per
| mile. All depends upon how thoroughly
| the Interstate law can be enforced With
many such bodies as our assembly not
much good would come OF the movement.
THE assembly has passed bill in
which it is hoped the senate viii readily
concur, that is, providing for the punish
ment OF tramps in the county jail at hard
labor. The seyerest punishment which
can be inflicted upon tramp is to make
him work. Sympathy for d tramp is
sentiment wasted He is pest and
something against which society is justi-
fed III taking the harshest measure He
is no longer a poor man looking for work,
but an indolent man running away from
it, and if it was made to confront him
every whore he would cease to tramp.
The tramp has always been looked
upon as picturesque looking rascal in
rags. But some late captures in this city
give evidence that the tramp is changing
bis condition or else that there are var
ious species. Last week tony look
ing fellow, well dressed, but with the IN
mistakable hunted appearance and fur
tive glance, was locked up as tramp
upon his own solicitation. Whiskey and
Incidence developed the tramp. There is
nothing the tramp dislikes more than
labor, and if it was possible to sentence
him to hard labor for time he would
abandon his calling.

Finish What You Begin.

My old great-grandmother Knox had
way of making her children finish
their work. If they had begun thing.
they must complete it. If they under

not leave it until it was done, and moth

set their hands would she allow them to

much of life is wasted in unfinished
work! Many man uses up his time in
splendid beginnings. The labor de-
voted TO commence ten things and leave
them useless would finish five of them
and make them profitable and useful

EVERGREEN HEDGES,

and ArbOr Vitae Shelter.
Without wishing to discourage plan
tiers, they should be informed of the de-
fects as well rs good points, in ever
green shelters. Hemlock spruce, GER
tainly the most beautiful for the pur-
pose. and arbor yit;e, the most econOmi-
cal. are, unfortunately, not to be de-
pended upon at all times. In very ex-
posed situations, where the strong north
west wind has full sweep of them, we
sometimes find large gaps in the hedge
when few mild days start vegetation.
Now both these species are considered
quite hardy, extending as they do very
far north in their native forests, but if
planted thickly in a hedge some of the
plants become fatally injured. Ex-
hausted soil and severe pruning COM
bined so eneryate their vital power that
they succumb to the inevitable. while
single specimens of the same trees. I'M
pruned, will in all probability remain
uninjured. So far Norway spruce in
hedges has not been liable to this de-

A VALENTINE.

II could bring the brightest gems
From Nature richest treasure mine
Diamond. ruby and amethyst,
Shining pearls that the waves have kissed
Id string them III one radiant twist
To make my love a Valentine.
III could find the rarest flowers
That over all the wide world shine
The edelweiss, with true love power,
The aloe and the spirit flower
I'd pluck them all in one glad hour
To make my love a Valentine.
II could catch the fieeting beams
OF bright Aurora's rays divine,
And keep the gleam Of sunset skies,
And hold the rainbow's wondrous dyes
I'd take the glow that in them lies
To paint my love Valentine.
II could chain the ightning's fash
And spin il in golden line.
And keep the starry flakes OF snow,
I'd bind them with the lightning so
That frost and fire should blend and glow
To make my love Valentine.
But since these wishes may not be,
And nothing rich or rare is mine,
Except my heart and love so true,
This painted flower Of dainty blue
Shall bear them, with the wish that you
VIII always be my Valentine.

Wonderful Singing Sands.

Near town called Mana, on this same
island, are the wonderful singing sands.
These sands are in small desert. In
the center of the desert are about dozen
cocoanut trees, and about five miles dis
tant is the ocean. Ka. Pule, native
guide, and myself reached the trees about
noon. Our horses, as we'll as ourselves,
we're about used up travelling through
the deep sand under a blazing sun. As
we lay stretched at the roots Of the tow.
ering cocoanuts the trade wind set in
cool and refreshing from the ocean. Not
withstanding the heat and weary condi-
ton, there was an cnchantmcnt about the
situation that caused me to think of the
beautiful stories I had read in my child
hood. I began to feel the soft touch Of
slumber, and all ut once I heard faint,
musical tinkling as if troops Of fairies
were coming to greet us as they used to
do the enchanted princes in the olden
days. / tried to locate the melodious
sounds. In all directions there was moth
ing but hot, glowing sand. I looked up
there was nothing but the beautiful
tropical sky and the trcmulous atmo-
sphere. Still louder sounded the music
it was all around us; it filled the air. l
gazed toward the ocean, and there, ap-
parently short distance away, was a
beautiful lake, with its waves dashing
upon covered stones. 1t was not
there when we first arrived at the place,
and I became half convinced that it was
the work of enchantmcnt. IA Pule had
fallen asleep, aud, gazing ct the lake and
listening to the music in the air, Irested
my head against the rough bark of a tree.
AS did so I heard the distant gurgle of
a brook. I could plainly hear the water
splashing over the glistening stones and
dying away in quiet eddies. was more
and more bcwildered, and at length
awoke Ia Pule. told him what had
heard, and directed his attention to the
lake. lie explained that the seeming
lake was waillula, or mirage; that the
sound of gurgling waters came from an
underground stream, and that the music
Was caused by the stirring of the finty
sands by the winds. Anyway, the whole
experience was beautiful, and I have
often said that I once made visit to fairy
land.

ga captive balloon is proposed by NJ.
G. Yon for the French Centennial Exhi-
bition in 1889, which will have the
enormous capacity of 200 cubic metres
(2,11e,oO cubic fecD," says Hon
"Thc greatest altitude proposed to be
reached in,the ascensions will be i ZOO
metres $3.50 feet, and it will be possible
to take hundred passengers, winding
engine of 600 horsepower being
employed. In the construction of this
balloon, the following point is of some
interest, a principle of construction
which, if we remember rightly, has been
applied in previous balloon. As the
surface of the balloon must always be
tight, in order to prevent the damage
which otherwise strong wind might
cause, to preserve tightness, notwith-
standing variations in temperature,
another small balloon is placed inside the
large one, and the volume of this small
balloon, which is filled with atmospheric
air, can be increased or diminished by
pumping in or exhausting air by means
of an air pump worked by an electric
motor on the car, the current for this
motor being supplied by twin cable
from adynamo on the ground"
